Over the course of this year Lydia and I have been writing on our "doorposts" and "gates" by covering our bedroom walls in artistically written bible verses.We took the time on Sunday evening to work on some of these verses. Lydia did Psalm 121 because it is one of her favorites. It reminds her that YHWH is her help and protecter.I am working on writing out all my favorite verses from James. I just finished James 1:19-20.

Reading these papers as they catch our eyes helps to adjust our attitudes, memorize scripture and is a great reminder of how Yahweh sould be at the center of our lives.

If you don't do this already it would be great to start now! You can put these in your room, in your car, inside your suitcase, inside someone elses suitcase, give them away as bookmarks or (if you're allowed) all over your house! Have a blessed day!! Bethany and Lydia

Dear Readers,It's been a busy week and it has been difficult to make time to write posts. Yes, it's been an exhasiting week of harvest, prep, can, harvest, prep, can... But we are starting to see the end of the tunnel! And even though Summer canning is almost through the Fall Feasts are coming fast :)

During the Biblical Holy Days of Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot (!!!) we will be unable to write full posts but we hope to still share some of our favorite Holy Day songs, bible verses, and traditions. So, until next time, see you soon baboon...and enjoy the Holy Days!!Bethany

The reason I wear Tzitziot is because the Bible says to in Numbers 15:37-40 . There are many different ways to make Tzitziot and you can make them however you want. You can make them to represent something just be sure it has at least one blue string :)

The supplies you will need: rulerscissorsstringa chair

Step 1Cut the string, the color of your choice, 36" long. Cut as many strings as you want. I cut 4 green strings to represent the seasons Yahweh has created, 7 purple strings to represent the seven days of the week. 10 blue strings to represent the Ten Comandments.

Step 2Put the strings around a chair leg and tie a knot.

Step 3 You can do it anyway you want; knot it, braid it, twist it, or just leave it as hanging strings. You can even do something as simple as a blue string by itself. I braided it about 2 inches.

Step 4 I took all of the green strings and wrapped them 4 times around the rest.Then I tied a box knot to secure it.

Step 5 Next I tied 20 box knots.

Then I braided until the end and finished with a final knot.To finish you trim all your string except one (or two) blue ones (Tradition, not comanded). Or just cut them all the same length.

Usually people wear 4 Tzitziot but some pepole just do 1 or 2 because they don't have corners on thier garmentsRemember you can do it anyway you want- you don't have to follow mine :). Shalom, Lydia~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
